Our aim for this literature review was to investigate the importance of adolescent assent in medical context. We explored the role of adolescents in research or medical treatment and bioethical considerations of including this population. Of the 5712 articles screened, our review yielded 9 relevant papers. We found that adolescent research or medical treatment should include the assent, increasing feelings of bodily autonomy for adolescents, independent from their parents’ consent.
